The first of three Star Wars-themed aircraft from Japanese airline ANA took to the skies this weekend, flying from Tokyo to Vancouver and back. The exterior, painted to resemble the droid R2-D2, first went for an inaugural lap over Tokyo's Haneda Airport while costumed fans (and pilots toting lightsabers) reveled in the theme.

This was quite the weekend for themed airplanes, as Canadian carrier WestJet debuted a Frozen Boeing 737. The job took 21 days of 12-hour rotations involving a constant crew of six painters working around the clock. The exterior features a tip-to-tail mural of Elsa, Anna, and Olaf, while the interior boasts Scandinavian-patterned headrest covers and winter scenery on the bulkheads and overhead bins.

A 24-year-old man began acting erratically, bit another passenger, and then died onboard an Aer Lingus flight from Lisbon to Dublin. The plane diverted to Cork, but he could not be saved. The cause of death is under examination. (RTE)

The heartwarming tale of a baby born onboard an Air China flight earlier this month has turned sour, as new allegations state that not only was the mother beyond the cut-off period for flying pregnant, but had deceived the airline and stated she was only "feeling a little bloated." After endangering the health and safety of herself and her child by traveling at full term and lying, the mother has been deported while the newborn remains under care in Alaska, to which the flight was forced to divert from its original Los Angeles course.

A trophy hunter has filed a lawsuit against Delta Air Lines protesting their refusal to ship home his most recent kill: a black rhino. The man paid $350,000 for the right to legally kill the animal in Namibia, but Delta joined the embargo on shipping hunting trophies as cargo earlier this year, following the death of Cecil the lion. Perhaps the man should try South African Airways, which lifted their ban following high pressure lobbying by a hunting association. (Dallas Sun Times)
